    The downfall of the Tory party.

    T They might be able to technically, but they have zero interest in doing so. Starmer stands on a platform of radical right-of-centre continuity.

    welcome to wales.

    It's refreshing - even genuinely touching, especially online, to have a conversation which started off with two people coming from two very different positions, bordering on antagonistic, ending up this way. You have given me plenty of food for thought too. Honestly, this debate has shaken me...

    welcome to wales.

    This started off as a short reply. Sorry 😂 I wouldn't confuse incompetence and greed with an unwillingness to implement right-wing policy. There has been, and increasingly will be, a strong desire to pander to ultra-conservative values to get them out of a sticky political situation caused...

    welcome to wales.

    You can't think of a right-wing Conservative policy? This Conservative party? I am missing context for which I apologise, but do you think they are not being right-wing enough?

    welcome to wales.

    Thanks for your own reply! I love a good debate, even if (sometimes, especially if) I feel like my views are in the minority within a community. I am ultimately minded to agree with you on Labour on motorists, if only because they don't seem to have waded into the manufactured culture war on...

    welcome to wales.

    Compared with the traditional centre -ground long since abandoned by the British political establishment, here are a few very recent examples: - Refusing to vote to support a ceasefire to prevent thousands of civilian casualties in a one-sided 'war' - Abstaining from a vote for a fatal motion...

    welcome to wales.

    LOL Labour are currently trying to outflank the Tories on the far right.

    Russel Brand accused of rape.

    Depends whether you believe he is: An honest, innocent man who has been hauled over the coals by malicious liars; or Whether you think that on balance he was probably extremely relieved as the very small number of accusations made against him which the prosecution felt actually capable of...

    Russel Brand accused of rape.

    Despite being both "tried by the media" and tried in the courts he was still found technically innocent of any crime? Seems like it worked out pretty well for him. It's almost as if trial by media didn't prejudice him. Well huh.

    Russel Brand accused of rape.

    What's really, really important here is that women (and girls, can't believe we are still living in a world where I have to type this) do know that allegations have been made and that people are taking them seriously. It doesn't matter how many years after the fact it was - if only one woman...

    wow

    This sort of post exemplifies exactly why the political future of this country is on the rubbish heap. The deeply-ingrained, post-feudal mindset of the British voter that we really need to be voting for people who are somehow superior to us, like our social betters will see us right, as they...

    Just stop oil

    Do you honestly, honestly expect this to ever happen? Big business and oil in particular has a stranglehold on Western politics, and the UK is no exception. Do you think any of the major civil rights successes won globally over the last century would have been achieved by simply 'getting elected'?

    Just stop oil

    It's going to take a lot of protests, and perhaps a lot more extreme versions of the protests we are already seeing, before meaningful change becomes an inevitability. Re the point about suffragettes above - they started off with fairly low-key protests and lobbying. Yes some groups went...

    Just stop oil

    This debate hinges entirely on whether one can happy to watch the world burn and for millions, possibly billions, of people to die or be displaced. I, for one, can't imagine anyone with children and/or grandchildren being anything other than 100% behind all and any attempts to decarbonise as...
